DStv to cut prices with Capitec deal

Capitec and MultiChoice have announced a partnership that will give the bank's customers access to discounted DStv Stream plans.

A media report about the partnership was published yesterday following remarks by Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie.

 

[G.A.S]

If I am to guess: just like typical SA Black Friday deals @2% off?

Among other things, Fourie stated that Capitec’s new DStv Stream vouchers would allow customers to buy access to specific programmes or channels.

MyBroadband has learned that this was an incorrect characterisation of what the companies are launching in October.

Capitec will offer significantly discounted vouchers for specific DStv Stream packages, including DStv Premium. DStv is not launching a pay-per-view model.

Hmm.... where there's smoke there's fire?

And here I thought we'd make it to lunch without a dstv article.

No

If it's 50% off I'll bite. Funny that it takes a bank to show Nochoice the way.

Popular shows that drove viewership included Tracking Thabo Bester, Koek, The Mommy Club, Youngins, Red Ink, Adulting, Outlaws, and its Real Housewives shows.

Thing is Monochoice are up for negotiations to collaborate because they are desperate now, they didnt have this attitude when they had a monopoly.

Since when don't they have a monopoly?

They still do? So why are their subscription numbers dwindling and why are shareholders cashing out?

Not really.

Any ATM is a Capitec ATM.

And yet at the mall i just see empty ATM's at the other banks and a thousand people queued at the Capitec ones...

They, still a monopoly. Might be bankrupt. Only shareholders to sell out their shares are the DSTV Suites ... , the other shareholders are hoping that Canal+ deal goes thru, so they don't lose, monatary value, on the shares they bought. So the shareholders are the only ones who care.

Can't remember when last I used an ATM ... probably 12+ years already

 

[Swa]

When I read the headline I almost got excited. The I realise it was limp content.

They have a local monopoly on some content.

And out of that thousand probably only 10 need real money which they can withdraw while paying for their shopping.
